Pricing
What's the price, and what's the catch?
One plan, $599 a month, everything included. You get your Google and AI search presence, service videos that post to every channel, appointment booking, payments, and memberships at the appointment, Reputation Shield, local market intel, the AI practice assistant, and Slad stickers included. All on your sladox.com page, all continuously updated. 7 days free, no contract.
ROI
What return can I expect?
Fair question: Slad starts at $599 a month, and the return comes from filling appointments and keeping regulars. Higher tickets when patients book from the appointment, recurring memberships, new patients who find you on Google and in AI search, and reputation recovery that protects your rating. Put your own patients per day and average spend into the revenue calculator to see your estimated extra revenue, payback period, and return against what you pay. Every number it uses is grounded in published research.
Features
What exactly does Slad do?
A lot, all in one app: your Google presence on autopilot, AI service videos that post to every channel, book and pay at the appointment, memberships and clubs, Reputation Shield, local market intel, influencer vetting, plus an in-app AI practice assistant that already knows your practice and your local market, and a patient-facing page with rewards. For the complete, itemized breakdown of everything Slad does for you and for your patients, see the full feature list.
AI assistant
What can the in-app AI practice assistant actually help me with?
Quite a lot, because it already knows your practice and your local market. It reads your service list, your reviews, your booking data, your connected channels, and your Slad settings, and it sees the live signals in your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy windows, competitor moves). So when you ask things like "what is my best service mix for the busy season," "should I run a care club this winter," or "draft a reply to this 1-star review," you get specific, numbers-tied answers grounded in your actual numbers and what is moving near you, not generic advice. It also walks you through how to do anything in the app, from connecting your booking system to scheduling a Google post. Per-practice chat thread, isolated to your account.
Reputation
What if a patient has a bad experience?
Before a patient is guided toward sharing, they rate their visit. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to management instead of pushing them toward a public post. Your team gets the chance to recover the moment while the patient is still on site, before frustration becomes a Google or Yelp review. We do not block public reviews. We give you a chance to fix the issue first.
Content
How does Slad turn one photo into a video?
Slad runs your service photo through an AI video model that adds the motion flat photos can't show: natural movement, light, depth, and warmth. You get a polished short video in minutes, ready for Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. You can also start from a short clip and Slad will remix it. No camera, no crew, no editor.
Spend protection
Why pay Slad to vet creators? Can't I just check their page?
A glance at a creator's page tells you their follower count and a few comments. It does not tell you what % of their followers are real, what their fair-price benchmark is for your tier, whether their engagement is rented or organic, or whether the account is fading. Slad computes those four things in under a minute, for both Instagram and TikTok. The fair-price feature alone usually saves nurse practitioners more in one season than a year of Slad costs.
Channels
Does Slad replace Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube?
No, Slad connects to them. You authorize Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once, then every video, photo, and offer publishes across them with one tap. You keep your accounts and your audience. Slad handles the publish, the cross-posting, the Google profile and posts, and the review replies.
Discovery
Will Slad help new patients find me, even in AI search?
Yes. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh so you rank when patients search nearby, and it features your practice on @searchslad, its public care channel, with a lasting page on the sladox care guide. Those pages help your practice show up in Google and in what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity tell people who ask where to find care near them, with nothing for you to write or set up.
Operations
Will I have to retrain my staff?
No major training burden. Patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code they never have to scan, for the service list, booking, and rewards, and move through the flow on their own. Your team can point at the sticker the same way they would point at a brochure. Marketing happens in the back office through your phone, not at the front desk.
Category
Is Slad an agency, or a tool, or a booking-system replacement?
None of the above. Slad is the operating system an independent practice runs themselves. It does not replace your booking system; it connects to it so patients can book and pay. It is not an agency, no one runs your account for you. It is the practice-grade alternative to a chain's marketing team, loyalty contract, and agency, starting at $599 a month.
Ordering
Can patients book and pay from the appointment?
Yes. Once your booking system is connected, patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send their booking straight to the practice, pay from their phone, and can join recurring memberships like a care club. No app to download, and your staff keeps working the way they already do.
Setup
How long until we're live?
Most practices are live the same day they receive their sticker pack. Average setup is under an hour: place stickers, link your accounts (Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), connect your booking system, and upload your service list and a few service photos. Your first service video and first multi-channel post can publish before the next clinic day starts.
Ordering
Can patients book and pay at the appointment without changing my booking system?
Yes, and you keep your existing booking system. Slad connects to it instead of replacing it: patients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send bookings to the practice, pay from their phone, and join memberships. No new hardware, and no app for patients to download.
Cost
What's a cheaper alternative to a healthcare marketing agency?
A healthcare marketing agency runs $2,500+/mo and only handles your posts. Slad is an operating system that does the marketing and runs your front desk, your reviews, and your local intel , starting at $599 a month, with no agency, no team to hire, and no ad spend.
Reputation
How can I stop bad reviews before they go public?
Catch the unhappy patient before they post. Slad asks for a quick rating at the appointment; a low score routes privately to management instead of becoming a public 1-star, so you can make it right, while happy patients get steered to a public Google review.
Content
How do I turn service photos into videos automatically?
Upload one service photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the motion, light, and warmth a still photo can't show, then posts it to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap, with no filming or editing.
Independent practices
What's the best all-in-one app for independent nurse practitioner practices?
Slad is built for independent nurse practitioner practices: get found on Google, post your services to every channel, take bookings, payments, and memberships at the appointment, recover unhappy patients before they go public, and track the openings, cost moves, and policy in your local market, all in one app, starting at $599 a month.
Research
Are Slad's claims and revenue numbers backed by real research?
Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent businesses), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.
